Bird spikes work by making a narrow ledge, sign, or parapet edge physically uncomfortable to land on, without needing the full structural anchoring a net requires. They're best suited to linear surfaces — window sills, compound wall tops, signage boards and AC unit tops — rather than open balcony areas where netting is more effective.
We use UV-stabilised polycarbonate spike strips rather than cheaper plastic versions that yellow and become brittle within a year of sun exposure, fixed using a weatherproof adhesive and screw combination suited to the specific surface material.
Spikes are a deterrent rather than a barrier, so for areas with a serious existing pigeon nesting problem we typically recommend netting or a combined solution rather than spikes alone, which we'll advise honestly during inspection rather than upselling a service that won't solve your actual problem.
This is one of our fastest installations, with most ledge or signage runs completed within an hour or two, making it a practical choice for commercial properties needing a quick fix across multiple small ledges.
Pricing guide
| Area / Type | Typical Price Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|

Prices are indicative; your exact quote depends on site inspection, height and access.
Frequently asked questions
Are spikes cruel to birds?+
No, spikes are a perching deterrent, not a trap or harm mechanism — birds simply find the surface uncomfortable to land on and move elsewhere.
Will spikes work for a balcony with an existing pigeon problem?+
Usually not alone; for an existing nesting problem we typically recommend pigeon netting, and will advise you honestly rather than selling spikes that won't fully solve it.
How long do spike strips last?+
UV-stabilised polycarbonate spikes typically last 5+ years outdoors without significant degradation.
Can spikes be fitted to signage boards and compound walls?+
Yes, this is one of the most common commercial use cases, particularly for shop signage and society compound walls.
